    Why We Should All Appreciate The Miami Heat

    People don’t like LeBron James because of “The Decision.” Most don’t like the Miami Heat because they put together an All-Star team when they paired Dwyane Wade with James and Chris Bosh. We should all appreciate how good of a team they are and how special their 27 game winning [...]

    This past week, LeBron James became the youngest player to score 20,000 points at just 28 years old. We all know how good LeBron is, but this statistic just confirms what he’s on pace to do. It’s unlikely that he’ll continue at the pace he’s going but he is the [...]

    Kevin Garnett has had a very productive 18 year NBA career. He’s been to 14 All Star Games and has made plenty of All NBA and All Defense teams throughout his career. All of this makes him a sure member of the Hall of Fame when his careers over (good [...]

    Going into the season, the Knicks knew that they would be without two key players in Amar’e Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert. They were expected to get off to a slow start but when that wasn’t the case, the story in New York was how they would play when these players returned to the [...]

    As everybody enjoyed their family and gifts of Christmas, we also got the gift of 5 NBA games on Christmas. The first of those games was a pretty uneventful Nets-Celtics game. The Celtics beat the Nets as they continued to struggle after getting off to such a hot start. It [...]

    It’s great when NBA teams are at full strength. Nobody likes to see injuries, especially to star players who are a treat to watch. In the next week, Amare Stoudemire and Steve Nash are expected to return to their respective teams and both of those returns are highly anticipated. The [...]

    Remember during the offseason when the Knicks got ridiculed for not bringing back Jeremy Lin? Or when Knicks fans threatened to jump ship to the new team in Brooklyn? Yeah, me neither. The Knicks have gotten off to an incredible start in the first quarter  of the season and it [...]

    The biggest story of the season so far has been the underachieving Lakers. They’ve taken over the NBA spotlight from the Heat and everything they’ve done so far this season has been analyzed to the smallest details. That was the case again this week, when the spotlight turned to the [...]

    We always overreact with the Lakers and this was most obvious in the first week when the league overreacted to the Lakers slow start which eventually got Mike Brown fired. With the overreactions to the bad things around the Lakers though, there’s also an overreaction to the positives with the [...]

    The Knicks have only played two games in the past week, so there was a lot of time for the talking heads to debate whether or not the NBA’s only remaining undefeated team was for real or not. While the Knicks may not be the best team in the East, they are certainly for [...]

    With the NHL locked out, all eyes are on the NBA during the week when there’s no NFL to watch. The first week of the NBA hasn’t disappointed either. We’re seeing young guys emerge and even though the seasons only a week old, there’s already some teams playing surprisingly well(or [...]

    Ah, it’s good to have the NBA back. Give it time Give it time is the motto for this first week of the season. It’s incredible how fans could call for Mike Brown’s job after just two games this season. Much like with the Miami Heat in their first year [...]
